Credit and prior learning

Find your voice without having to repeat yourself. Save time and money by checking if you’re eligible for having your previous work experience or study credited as prior learning towards your ACU degree.

Credited units replace units you would otherwise study, so you can finish your course earlier. We don’t want you to retake subjects or classes unnecessarily.

Course and campus transfers

Are you a current student looking to transfer your course or campus rather than apply for credit transfer? It’s possible to transfer from one course to another, or to a different campus offering the same course you’re currently enrolled in.

International students

If you’re an international student with previous study or work experience, you may be eligible for credit towards your new ACU course.

You can check if you’re eligible to apply for credit during your enrolment session. Make sure you bring your academic transcript to the session. To learn more about your enrolment session, visit our offer acceptance page.
